On the eve of the Republic Day, NESO in a statement released to the media, mentioned that keeping aside four main subjects - External Affairs, Defence, Currency and Transport - the Centre should give more powers to the states.
According to the NESO, such a step was necessary to protect the rights of the indigenous people to land and resources at a time when they face serious threats from the presence of illegal migrants from Bangladesh.
Favouring a truly federal structure for the benefit of the indigenous people of the region, NESO said that all possible steps must be taken to ensure that their identity is protected.
Striking a similar stance, the Asom Jatiyatabadi Yuba-Chatra Parishad has also called for better protection of the rights of indigenous people when it comes to land and resources.
